Kyrie Irving is requesting a trade to control his own destiny like LeBron James

I love it because [Kyrie Irving]'s basically pulling LeBron in LeBron's face. He's like, I want to control my own destiny just like you have. ... Kyrie's like, yeah, I don't want to stick around for you to leave next year and fuck me over.

Kyrie Irving did successfully force a trade to the Boston Celtics in August 2017, confirming his desire to leave Cleveland.

Kyrie to the Knicks today. It's happening. ... Today, sometime this week, for Kristaps. ... We are hearing that it could be for Kristaps and Melo.

This trade never happened; Kyrie was traded to the Celtics for Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, and a draft pick.

LeBron James is going to break Cleveland's hearts by leaving again

It's really, though, I'm sorry, I just feel bad for the people of Cleveland because LeBron's just going to break their hearts again.

LeBron James left the Cavaliers for the Los Angeles Lakers in the summer of 2018.

Kyrie Irving requesting a trade proves he is a 'beta' player

So Kyrie, not an alpha, right? ... Well, there you go. So that means he's not an alpha. Current beta. He's currently robbing LeBron James Batman. He's self-admitting that he's a beta. ... By asking for a trade, you're telling on yourself that you've been a beta for the last five years.

This is a subjective characterization typical of PFT's persona.

Clayton Kershaw is 'hurt' but not 'injured' and will play through the pain

I'm going to go with hurt because he'll be back. He'll just ignore the pain. ... He has that special like lizard part of his brain that he can just activate where it just blocks all of his pain sensors and he can just get back in there.

Kershaw missed about 5 weeks in late 2017 with back tightness, returning in September to finish the season. He was 'injured' enough to land on the DL, but did return.

The Seahawks locker room hates Russell Wilson

The Seahawks all hate Russell Wilson. ... It's the worst kept secret in football. If you go back two years ago when they were really, really good and people were saying that the Seahawks' defense doesn't respect him because he's not black enough, at that point you're like, okay, this is a really screwed up locker room.

While 'hate' is a strong word, numerous reports and subsequent interviews from former teammates (Sherman, Baldwin, Bennett) have confirmed significant cultural friction and resentment toward Wilson during that era.

Bunnies will not chew on power cords if they have an electric current

Bunnies won't chew on a cord if it has electric current going through it. Because they just know. ... Because they're just smart.

This is factually incorrect and dangerous; rabbits frequently chew through live cords and can be electrocuted.

There are more wild camels in Australia than in the Middle East

There are more feral camels in Australia than the Middle East. ... In Dubai, they buy their camels from Australia. They import them.

This is actually true; Australia has the world's only feral dromedary camel population, and they are indeed exported to the Middle East for meat and racing.

Conor McGregor is going to get 'killed' in a boxing match against Floyd Mayweather

McGregor's going to get kicked. He's going to get killed. ... McConnell [McGregor] put his dumb ass in a position where he's going to get knocked out. because this guy's [Mayweather] been doing this all his life.

Floyd Mayweather defeated Conor McGregor via TKO in the 10th round in August 2017.

Floyd Mayweather is a 'small little boy' and that's why the media glosses over his past

Hey, Floyd's a little boy. That's why. He's a small little boy. He's not this big heavyweight guy that everybody's afraid of. He doesn't come across as a woman neither because he's a little guy.

This is Tyson's personal theory and observation about public perception.

McGregor only stands a chance against Mayweather if he can kick and use knees

McGregor have to be able to kick. ... He has to be able to kick and use his knees. ... [Otherwise] he's not going to stand much of a chance.

Subjective tactical analysis from a legend, though McGregor did lose without being allowed to kick.
